It occurred to me -- and I'm not naming any former-overachiever, grade-grubbing, extra-credit-seeking perfectionist twit names here -- but it occurred to me that one might be a little too heavily invested in one's crafty-craft time with one's child if one knocks the toddler's hand away from the construction-paper mosaic because she was about to paste a blue square into the body of Muno (Muno is red, for chrissake. RED.)

Dial it the fuck back, Martha, Jesus.
